Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Hiroshi: An elderly Japanese man in his late seventies with a deeply lined, sun-bronzed face and kind, sparkling eyes. He has a short, neat grey ponytail and a thin beard. He wears a traditional indigo-dyed hanten jacket over a simple cream-colored cotton shirt. His hands are large, calloused, and steady, showing the strength of a fisherman. He stands in a rustic kitchen with dark wooden beams. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the textures of his weathered skin and the fabric of his traditional attire.
